I worked for the Cheonan Office of Education and taught English at a public elementary school. My roles included; constructing lesson plans and making resources as well as teaching Korean students from grade 3-6. The classes consisted of students of various levels. Having worked in a classroom with mixed levels, i understand the individual needs of the students. This is crucial when teaching a foreign language, as each student has his/her own pace of learning.
